Mas Martinet Pesseroles Brisat 2023

Mas Martinet Viticultors is synonymous with a winery that produces wines of the highest quality. Sara Pérez, who runs the family winery, had been experimenting for some time with a white wine to match her famous reds.

In 2002, a plot of land near the Pesseroles road was planted with white grape varieties that were grown in the area: Grenache Blanc, Picapoll Blanc, Pedro Ximénez... When the vineyard begins to bear fruit, Sara begins to experiment... for 8 years! Until she achieves the quality and style of wine ready for the market.

The first vintage for the Pesseroles Brisat was 2016, paying homage to the traditional style of brisat wines from all over Catalonia, crafting wines from white grapes macerating them as if they were for a red wine.

We could say that it is a single vineyard wine, located in the area of Falset (Tarragona), and attached to the D.O.Ca. Priorat. The organic farming, the licorella (slate) crumbled soils with calcareous subsoil, and its special vinification, can only give this magnificent result.

Mas Martinet Pesseroles Brisat 2023 is an orange white wine made from 42% White Grenache, 35% White Picapoll, and 23% Pedro Ximénez.

The grapes are picked by hand, and the wine remains in contact with the skins for about three months, followed by aging in glazed ceramic jars and demijohns. It is bottled unfiltered and unstabilized, so natural sediment may appear at the bottom of the bottle. The result is an amber-colored wine with aromas of peach, quince, flowers, honey, beeswax, and Mediterranean herbs.

On the palate, it combines freshness, structure, and delicate tannins with a pronounced mineral character and a long, briny finish. A crisp white wine with great personality and a clear gastronomic profile, it is particularly well-suited to accompany poultry, fish, seafood, and dishes with sauces or spices, where its texture and structure allow it to pair well with more intense preparations.

The bottle is transparent, simulating the aging containers and the purity of the wine, while at the same time allowing us to enjoy its beautiful deep amber color.

Mas Martinet Pesseroles Brisat 2023 is an extremely limited production wine as only 1,375 bottles were made!
